You have been waiting for sooooooooooooo long to hear the release date for THE GAME CHANGER, right?! I am sorry that it's taken me forever to announce this, but as these things tend to go, publishing deals take time and there are contracts and points and things to go over and deadlines to meet, etc.

Did I say publishing deal?

I DID!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:)

The Perfect Game and The Game Changer will be published by Amazon Publishing in New York! I am SUPER excited (and super scared). lol Okay, i'm not really super scared. I'm way more excited!!!!

As long as we meet all of our production deadlines, etc...

THE GAME CHANGER will be released on

JUNE 25, 2013
Which means that it will be released in time for Book Bash in Orlando and I WILL have paperback copies there for sale!!!!

Go meet Jack and Cassie and get ready for the next installment of their relationship (which I truly hope you'll LOVE)!

Questions and answers:Does this mean that TGC and TPG will no longer be available as an e-book on Itunes, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, etc?
Yes. Unfortunately at this time, once June 25th hits, TPG and TGC will only be available as an e-book on Amazon.

So how will I be able to read it then?
You can either order a paperback copy (which should be available on all sites), or you can download the kindle app on your Ipad, PC, phone, etc and purchase the kindle version to read. I really am sorry about that.

Will your other books be amazon exclusive?
No. My other two books will remain available on all sites and on all platforms.

First of all, I need to THANK all of you who stood outside for literally hours on end to wait your turn to come inside and meet us. I can only hope that you maybe made new friends with the people in front and behind you and made the outdoor experience fun in some way. Maybe you took pictures of guys abs?! Maybe you yelled "VAGINA" at strangers driving by in their cars?! Or maybe that only happened on Saturday night? lol

Also, I heard that people were turned away from standing in line and didn't get to come in at all, but I haven't seen that online anywhere. Did that really happen? Because I'm telling you that all the other authors and myself were fully willing and prepared to head outside in the cold with y'all and sign your books. Personally, it hurts my heart to think that people planned to come and didn't get in. Maybe it was all a rumor. I'm sincerely hoping so.

So, while in Boston a group of us decided it would be a good idea to take a talking historical tour of the city. Um, first mistake...trying to keep a group of rowdy authors and their friends quiet during a TALKING tour. Apparently we're a bunch of "dicks." At least that's what we were told.

Dicks in action:

Me and Tara Sivec aren't dicks. We're just silly. Although in Tara's books, those two words sorta go hand in hand. Maybe once we were called dicks, we all should have started talking in Pirate speak?! Arrrr matey, we're a buncha dicks arrrr! (read seduction & snacks people) Ps- tara, what the hell are you cupping in this pic?! My ribs?

Do you read C&C book blog?! Well it's run by this here gorgeous and amazing person, Christina. She's crazy, which only makes me love her more honestly.

I got to meet so many of you on Saturday that I knew from facebook, instagram and twitter. That was super fun for me! I freaking love you guys! And really, y'all give me the COOLEST dang gifts!!! Thank you so much to Pushy Girl Paintings for bringing me this one of a kind painted baseball! I adore it.

And I also got this awesome mug filled with chocolate quarters and chocololate baseballs. It was so rad! Thank you Candice for doing that! I love it. :)

How are your favorite authors in real life?
Pretty damn cool, I must admit.

But this time I got to meet and fall in love with people like Kyla Linde (I sort of want to turn this picture of her into a christmas ornament and hang her on my tree)!

And Jessica Park!

And Katie Ashley!

And Raine Miller! And Emmy Montes! And so many other people who were simply awesome!! It's so cool when an amazingly talented and creative group of women can be in one room together and all get along!

I have some crazy story to tell y'all about the drunk guy named Soup who almost got his ass kicked by Sterling, but i'm tired. Maybe tomorrow (definitely not tomorrow). lol

I'll leave you with the shirt I wore in Boston. Loving some Jack F'n Carter. :) <3

Thank you again to everyone who came out! You made the whole day worth it. You're the best group of freaking readers I could ever ask for. Thanks for always making me feel so good about what I do (and WHO I do it for). Love y'all. Hard. :)

Ps- if you were in boston and you posted a recap, link it in the comments! I'd love to read them all if I can!! :)

If you were to take my heart out of my chest and hold it to your ear, you would not hear the sound of coins jingling around the sides. Nor would you hear the crumpled sound of paper dollar bills brushing up against the edges.
